89: Chapter 89: The Investment Attraction Caused a Sensation

"Convenient, it's convenient!"

Gao Qiqiang replied hastily, a fine layer of sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Secretary Li, I will definitely arrive on time tomorrow."

"Very well, see you tomorrow." Li Dakang hung up the phone after saying this.

Gao Qiqiang sat dazed for a long while, holding the disconnected brick phone, until a younger brother beside him couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked softly: "Brother Qiang, which Secretary Li is this?"

He snapped out of it, turned his head, and forced a smile as he scolded: "Who else could it be? Naturally, it's Li Dakang of Guantian Township!"

Another younger brother leaned over and asked eagerly: "Brother Qiang, is Secretary Li looking for you because there's more work for us to do?"

These words made Gao Qiqiang's heart skip a beat. Could it really be as the younger brother said? That would be fantastic.

Suppressing his excitement, he waved his hand: "We'll know when I go tomorrow. Everyone stop drinking, eat something, and go home early."

"Everyone go to the company tomorrow and wait for notification. I'll head to Guantian Township first thing in the morning to see Secretary Li."

"Alright, Brother Qiang!"

...

Early the next morning, Gao Qiqiang arrived outside Li Dakang's office.

He knocked lightly, and after receiving permission, he pushed the door open and walked in carefully: "Secretary Li, hello."

A respectful smile was plastered on Gao Qiqiang's face.

Li Dakang sat behind a large desk, looked up at him, and nodded, signaling for him to sit: "Boss Gao, I asked you to come today because there is something I want to discuss."

His voice was steady and powerful, making one involuntarily focus on listening.

Gao Qiqiang's heart was pounding, but he dared not show it on his face, only nodding with a smile as he waited for what was next.

"The township is planning to renovate a batch of schools recently, with a total investment of about four million."

Li Dakang paused, his sharp gaze fixed on his reaction.

(Four million for new school construction, 2.5 million for teaching equipment and supplies)

Gao Qiqiang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...? But he still pretended to be calm, waiting for Li Dakang to continue.

"Considering the performance of your construction team previously, I intend to entrust this project to you."

There was a hint of testing in Li Dakang's words.

Gao Qiqiang was instantly enveloped by immense joy, barely able to believe his own ears.

He secretly pinched his thigh, and the piercing pain told him it wasn't a dream. He stood up immediately, his voice even choking up slightly: "Secretary Li, thank you so much!"

"I, Gao Qiqiang, will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"

"In the future, if there is anything you need me for, just say the word, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me."

Li Dakang interrupted him, his expression turning serious: "Just like before, I emphasize one point: the quality must pass inspection; there must be no cutting corners."

"What Guantian Township needs is solid projects that benefit the people, not superficial work that looks good but lacks substance."

"Rest assured, Secretary Li!"

Gao Qiqiang nodded eagerly like a mortar and pestle: "Our Qiangsheng Group has always upheld quality first, and we will never betray your trust!"

"For this project, we will definitely give it our all and ensure every detail meets the highest standard!"

Li Dakang nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. You must remember that the foundation of cooperation is integrity and mutual trust. I hope we can have a long and pleasant cooperation."

Gao Qiqiang secretly rejoiced; the meeting had gone much smoother than expected. He quickly stated: "You are absolutely right! I will definitely cherish this opportunity and use my actions to prove my sincerity and ability!"

After the talk, Gao Qiqiang left, full of gains.

Gao Qiqiang knew very well how rare this opportunity was and that he had to go all out.

Not only did he have to do the project well, but he also had to maintain a good relationship with Li Dakang to pave the way for Qiangsheng Group.

After returning to the company, Gao Qiqiang immediately gathered all employees for a meeting to share the good news. The morale of the entire group instantly soared, and everyone was brimming with energy.

Gao Qiqiang knew that this project was not just a test of strength, but a key step toward opening up a new situation and moving up the ladder.

However, to complete the renovation project of the thirteen schools in Guantian Township on schedule, the hundred or so people currently in Qiangsheng Group were simply not enough.

So, the first task Gao Qiqiang gave his younger brothers was to recruit workers on a large scale, and he specifically emphasized: prioritize hiring people from Guantian Township.

Anyone with a little construction skill was accepted, and even if they knew nothing but were strong and had muscle, they were hired too.

Besides, it wasn't limited to men; women were also hired. After all, rural women were no less capable of hard work than men.

Thus, over the next few days, recruitment notices could be seen everywhere in the villages of Guantian Township.

In this era, there was already a surplus of rural labor, and with the high wages Gao Qiqiang was offering, they were fully staffed within two days.

Now, everything was ready; they were just waiting to start.

...

On the other side, the news that Tie Qichang had donated six million to support education in Guantian Township and invested fifty million to build an electronics factory spread like a spring breeze throughout the entire Anjiang County.

When this news came out, everyone was shocked. A six-million donation was already generous, but a fifty-million investment was even more shocking, like an astronomical figure.

In this era, even in the provincial capital, an investment of fifty million would cause a huge stir, let alone in the remote Guantian Township.

This sudden "God of Wealth" made Guantian Township seem like it had hit the jackpot overnight, attracting countless envy and jealousy.

People couldn't help but wonder, what virtue or ability did Guantian Township have to receive help from such a noble person?

...

In the Xinying Municipal Government building, inside the office of Municipal Party Secretary Guo Zhenhua.

"Dakang, I must congratulate you on striking it rich!" Municipal Party Secretary Guo Zhenhua said with a face full of smiles.
